In this podcast we present excerpts of an interview with Armando Montesinos in regards to the 1970s and 1980s Spanish painting exhibition entitled Idea: Painting-Force.

As explained in the podcast, and also in the text included in the exhibition catalogue, the title comes from a gliding of the term “idea force” – which implies that every idea can be transformed into an action – into the term “painting-force”, which refers to paintings that present thinking processes or ideas.

This transposition into the words “painting-force”, developed from the conversations between José Luis Brea and Armando Montesinos in the 1980s, provides a theoretical framework for thinking about a series of paintings.
